Beat the Market Analyzer – Full Review

 

Beat the Market Analyzer Wealth Builders’ Club is a stock market advisory service run by a chap called Grant Gigloitti.

Grant analyses hundreds of US stocks and then sends spreadsheets by e-mail with details of his analysis.

He uses colour-coding to indicate a possible buy (in yellow) or a recommended buy (in green).

The depth of his analysis is very impressive and you can see Grant really knows his stuff. This is definitely not one of those fly-by-night, pump and dump merchants you see so much of on the internet these days.

What you are getting here is very high quality research with all aspects of a stock examined.

 

Results

For the review, we bought all those stocks that were recommended (i.e. those in green), plus those that Grant bought himself.

The results were very impressive over the course of the six month trial. 

We recorded results for two different approaches to following the recommendations:

  • If you had bought all the stocks and held them, you would currently be 98% up, an excellent total and one that you would struggle to match anywhere. So if you had invested $2,000 in each of the shares recommended, you would have made $1,960 profit over the trial using this approach.
  • If you had taken the approach that Grant advises on his message board – to sell stocks when they are 5% in profit and to hold the others until they hit that point – you would have made 50% of realised gain and be holding three stocks, that are a combined 20% down currently. So in effect you would be 30% up – also very good for quite a conservative approach.

Plus these figures don’t include dividends – although they don’t include dealing costs either, but we would imagine the dividends would exceed the dealing costs slightly, depending on the amount of your investment of course.

Here are the results in graph format:

Beat the Market Analyzer Profit Graph

As you can see, very impressive growth throughout the trial.

 

Patience Required

This is the kind of service that requires patience – over the course of six months we only bought 13 stocks. 

So if you are looking for instant thrills and loads of trades, this probably isn’t for you.

However, frankly the stats on day trading are pretty horrendous, with over 98% of people losing money, so you are better off avoiding it altogether!

If you are looking to make money though, this seems like a great way of doing it. Grant follows the value approach of Warren Buffett and the results show without doubt that this is very effective.

In our experience, the best way of making money in the stock market is to buy and hold stocks for a good period of time. The shorter a period you trade over, the more likely you are to lose money. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

The Wealth Builders’ Club has had a great trial, racking up 97% profit over six months.

The approach to picking stocks is very selective, with only those that tick all the boxes being recommended.

If you have some money to invest in shares and want to experience excellent returns – the like of which you would struggle to match through any mainstream investment trust or a typical fund manager – then we can highly recommend this.

You will be getting a first class service, with tonnes of research done for you and only the very best value stocks recommended. 

You can get a 14-day trial for just $14 here.

Beat the Market Analyzer – Results Update

20th August 2016

Things have continued in strong fashion for Beat the Market Analyzer Wealth Builders’ Club, with the recommended stocks now 110% in profit if you had bought and held them.

You can view full results here.

If you sold those that reached 5% profit and held the rest, you would be 30% up and holding 4 stocks.

So excellent stuff from Grant and it looks like this is heading for a firm recommended rating.

Beat the Market Analyzer – Results Update

25th July 2016

The BTMA Wealth Builders’ Club has progressed along nicely – albeit quietly – since our last update just over a month ago.

The recommended buys are now 55% up if holding the stocks, very decent returns indeed. 

If you had taken the approach of selling stocks when they achieve a 5% gain and holding the others, you would still have +25% of realised gains and be holding three stocks currently.

You can view full results here.

Grant also sold Chevron (CVX) on 29th June for a 5% gain plus dividends, although the stock was bought before our trial started so won’t be included in our results.

There has been one recommended buy since the last update – Parker-Hannifin Corp – which has moved up nicely since being recommended.

Good to see this one progressing steadily and results are very much in line with those advertised.

Back soon with more updates.

Beat the Market Analyzer – Results Update

21st June 2016

There has been good progress for BTMA Wealth Builders’ Club since our last update a month ago, with an increase of 13% on the stocks bought.

That means we are now +11% for the trial taking the approach of holding all the stocks.

If you had taken the approach of selling stocks when they achieve a 5% gain and holding the others, you would have +20% of realised gains and be holding three stocks currently.

You can view full results here.

Grant also sold Exxon on 15th June for a 5% gain plus a 3.31% dividend per year, although that was bought on 4th March 2015 so well before our trial started.

Just to say again we really like Grant’s no-nonsense approach and straight, honest advice. There is no hyped sales-y rubbish here nor any inflated results to make himself look better than he is, like you see from a lot of supposed stock market “gurus.” 

So far what we have seen is very thorough analysis and only shares that tick all the boxes receive a “recommended” rating.

That means there aren’t many that are recommended, but those that are have performed well to date.

Back soon with more updates.

Beat the Market Analyzer – Results Update

18th May 2016

It has been a quiet time for BTMA Wealth Builders’ Club, with just 2 stocks bought (plus one that Grant bought himself, so you had the choice of copying him on that as well).

Overall, if you bought all the recommended stocks and held them, at the time of writing your net position would be a loss of 2%.

You can view full results here.

The alternative approach – and how Grant recommends you trade the stocks – is to sell after a gain of 5% has been made. 

If you had done that, you would have realised gains of 10% and be holding three other stocks.

The main loser so far has been the GAP, which is unfortunately 28% down since Grant recommended it.

However, stocks often bounce back relatively quickly so if that one picks up then things might be looking pretty strong right now.

Back soon with more updates.

Beat the Market Analyzer – Results Update

20th April 2016

As one of the first stockmarket products we have reviewed here at Honest Betting Reviews, we were intrigued by Beat the Market Analyzer (BTMA) Wealth Builders Club as it looked like a very promising product.

And we have to say that so far we have not been disappointed. 

Frankly there are a lot of rubbish stockmarket products out there that either make ridiculous claims that they will make you untold riches or that are just waffle that is incomprehensible.

This is not the case though with BTMA. What you get with this is genuine, in-depth research on stocks that is clear and very well informed. 

Grant who runs the service gives regular analysis on stocks in the following indices:

  • S&P 500
  • S&P 400 Mid Caps
  • NASDAQ 100
  • DOW 30
  • Russell 2000 Small Caps
  • Biggest decliners amongst the entire market
  • 52-week low stocks amonsgt the entire market

What you get with the service is regular weekly spreadsheets with hundreds of stocks analysed in amazing detail.

Each stock Grant looks at gets a thorough analysis which is based on the Warren Buffett ethos of “value investing.”

Grant uses a range of indicators to look at whether a stock is a bargain price, including:

  • Companies must have been around for 10 years
  • Good and consistent fundamental data
  • Do you understand what this company does?
  • Will this company’s product still be successfully sold within the next 10 years?
  • Does the company have a durable competitive advantage?
  • Reviewing financial statements and annual reports

Then having done this analysis, on the spreadsheet there are stocks that Grant considers “possible buys” which are highlighted in yellow and then good buys which are highlighted in green.

So how have things been going so far?

Well there have only been three recommended buys so far, but they have all done very well.

You can view full results here.

The three stocks that Grant has rated as good buys have made profits at the time of writing of:

  • 10%
  • 5.4%
  • 1%

So excellent progress and well in line with the kind of gains advertised.

Although it is early days and only a small number of stocks have been recommended to buy, we are impressed both with the thoroughness of Grant’s approach and the results.

Back soon with more updates on Beat the Market Analyzer.

Beat the Market Analyzer – New Review

20th March 2016

Do you want to invest like Warren Buffett?

That’s a rhetorical question really, of course everyone would. He is one of the richest men in the world and an all-time legendary investor.

Now you may not be able to emulate the billions that Buffet has made, but there is a new strategy we have come across that promises to follow his value investing strategy.

The system is called Beat the Market Analyzer (BTMA) and is run by a guy called Grant Gigliotti.

The results on the sales page show that the system has consistently – and convincingly – beaten the S&P 500 over recent years. 

From 2013 to present, the S&P 500 has made 38.61% profit, where as BTMA has made 392.06% profit.

In that period it has beaten the S&P 500 in all but 2 months (with four months having no stocks sold), which is a very healthy monthly success rate.

The explanation on the sales page about how Grant developed the strategy is very logical and as I say, is based closely on the value investing approach of Warren Buffett and the mentor of Buffett, Benjamin Graham.

You can get a 14 day trial for a very reasonable $14, which is a good opportunity to get a feel for the system.

By signing up you will receive the Wealth Builders Club System and your bonus “Company Analysis Reports,” as well as daily recommendations of the most profitable, safest stocks to buy along with thousands of analyzed stocks each week.

So we will be interested to trial this one and see if we can build our stockmarket portfolio in the style of Warren Buffett!

We will return soon with updates on how things are going.

In the meantime, you can get Beat the Market Analyzer here.

Betfair Renegade – Final Review

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We have reached the end of our six month trial of Betfair Renegade and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/loss:    +233 points
Strike Rate:    20%
Bank Growth:    23%
Cost:   Comes as part of Profit Maximiser
ROI:   14%
Average number of bets:    1 per day
VERDICT:   PASSED

Betfair Renegade Full Review

 

Betfair Renegade is a piece of football betting software that is sold (at certain times) as part of the Profit Maximiser package.

What the software does is find value bets that can be placed at the exchanges rather than the bookies.

 

How does it work?

Here is an example of what the software looks like when you log in:

Betfair Renegade Software

 

The rating on the left in red is the amount of value the software calculates is in the selection – the higher the number the better.

You are advised to only go for value figures above 10 to give yourself a decent edge over the market.

Then you have the match, the league (or competition), the market, selection and current Betfair Odds in blue.

In yellow on the right are what Betfair Renegade calculates the odds should be for that market.

So all you need to do is open the software, check if any of the ratings on the left are above 10 (or whatever value you choose as your cut-off point), then look at the odds.

For our review, we used maximum odds of 11.0 (10/1). It is up to you what odds you want to use, but obviously the higher the odds you are prepared to accept, then the lower your strike rate will become.

Then you simply place the bets and you are done – there is no trading involved, you just let the bets run.

Results

We chose to follow the software for six months as the Summer period was quieter with few bets, so we wanted enough bets to get a proper sense of how well it worked.

Well we are pleased to say it worked very well, with 233 points profit made to 10 point stakes (or 23 points to 1 point stakes).

Here are the results in graph format:

Betfair Renegade Profit Graph

As you can see, things started off well, tailed off towards the middle but then took off later on to finish well in profit. 

That profit came with a strike rate of 20% and a return on investment of 14%, which is very good for football betting.

It is important to be aware that everyone’s results from using Betfair Renegade will differ slightly depending on when you access the software each day as the selections are constantly changing as the odds change.

However, the fundamental value will always be there so in the long run the profit made should be pretty similar. 

Overall we think the results are very impressive and given how tough it has been to find a winning football tipster or betting system, it is great to find something as simple and effective as Betfair Renegade.

We are therefore happy to recommend Betfair Renegade in its own right and given how good Profit Maximiser already is, then with Betfair Renegade added in you are getting one very special betting package.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The software is very easy to use and it only takes a couple of minutes per day to operate. It even links straight through to the relevant Betfair page, so all the work is done for you!

Availability of prices: The vast majority of the time you will be able to get your bets matched, but occasionally there won’t be enough liquidity so you may have to put in an order and wait for your bet to be matched. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 20%, so some patience will be required when following the service. 

Advised Betting Bank: We used a 100 point bank for the trial to 1 point stakes (or 1000 to 10 point stakes), which was never threatened and should be comfortable for this system. 

Subscription costs: Profit Maximiser is available for a 14-day trial for just £1, followed by a payment of £96. Please note that Betfair Renegade is only available at certain times, so to check if it is available, please contact Mike Cruikshank at support@bonusbagging.co.uk

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Betfair Renegade – which comes on a limited basis as part of Profit Maximiser – ticks two of the major boxes for us in terms of what we are looking for from a football betting system.

Firstly, it can make a profit – having made over 230 points during our trial. 

Secondly, it is profitable at Betfair so doesn’t require use of the bookies.

It is remarkably simple to use as well and should take no more than a few minutes each day to place the bets.

So it’s a definite thumbs up from us for Betfair Renegade and a worthy addition to your betting portfolio.

Make sure you check with the owner Mike Cruickshank whether it is available though as he only sells limited copies – you can e-mail him at support@bonusbagging.co.uk

Betfair Renegade – Results Update

18th August 2016

Betfair Renegade has been going great guns since our last update, adding 227 points profit since our last update, bringing it to 208 points up for the trial overall.

You can view full results here.

This is football betting software that finds value selections on Betfair. It is incredibly easy to use, you just click into it and the selections for the day are there automatically.

You can only get access to it through purchasing the Profit Maximiser matched betting system.

It has been a bit slow over the summer with few bets but now we are in the main football season, things are picking up.

Good to see the positive results lately and let’s hope that continues.

Betfair Renegade – Results Update

20th July 2016

Things have continued to pick up for Betfair Renegade  – a piece of football software available as part of the Profit Maximiser betting suite – since our last update, adding a further 14 points of profit to bring it back to -19 points for the trial overall.

You can view full results here.

It is very quiet at the moment however, with at most one selection per day and many days without selections.

So we will get a better picture of things when the football season starts again and there are many more selections to go on.

Under a month to go now until the new football season – we are counting down the days!

Betfair Renegade – Results Update

20th June 2016

Things have picked up a bit for Betfair Renegade – a piece of football software available as part of the Profit Maximiser betting suite – since our last update.

It has added a nice 52 points of profit over the last month, taking the total for the trial to date to 33 points down.

You can view full results here.

It must be stressed that the software churns out lots of selections, so no two people would necessarily get the same results. Our results are from checking the software a couple of times per day, but if you checked at different times to us you would no doubt have different results.

Most of the selections are long shots, so a degree of patience is required with Betfair Renegade. Indeed, the average odds of our bets so far has been 6.3, so just over 5/1.

Anyway, good to see the comeback from Betfair Renegade and let’s hope it continues.

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Betfair Renegade – Results Update

20th May 2016

Unfortunately there has been a bit of a downturn for Betfair Renegade since our last update, with 140 points lost over the last month.

That means we are now 84 points down for the trial so far, or 8.4 points down to 1 point level stakes.

You can view full results here.

It is worth mentioning that we haven’t been able to record every selection that the software generates, as that changes all the time according to odds movement and there are some days we have missed, so you may have got different results to us if you had been using the software.

Anyway, let’s hope things pick up for us over the remainder of the trial. 

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Betfair Renegade – Results Update

21st April 2016

It has been a solid start to our trial of Betfair Renegade, which is a piece of software that finds value selections in football matches on Betfair. It is available as part of the Profit Maximiser betting package.

So far we are 55 points in profit to 10 point stakes after 29 bets.

You can view full results here.

The system is super-easy to use. You just log in, check the software page and see if there are any matches that fit your criteria.

Then you can click links on the page straight through to Betfair and place the bet – so you can be done in a couple of minutes.

So far we haven’t made as much use of the tool is we could have done, so we will try to make sure we find more selections and get a greater quantity of results to measure it by.

But results to date have been good, with a couple of cracking winners including Watford to beat Arsenal at 10.5 and Cowdenbeath to beat Peterborough at 11.

The other thing to mention is that we have amended the original criteria slightly to include matches with odds of up to 11 and value ratings of 10 and above. This is because with our original criteria there were just too few matches really.

Back soon with more updates.

Betfair Renegade – New Review

11th March 2016

Regular visitors to Honest Betting Reviews will know we are big fans of Mike Cruickshank’s products. 

We have given top ratings to a number of his systems, including Profit Maximiser, Bonus Bagging, Each-Way Sniper and Accumulator Generator.

So every time Mike releases something new, we – and probably a good number of you – get rather excited.

The latest product from Mike is something called Betfair Renegade. 

Now at first I was wondering what this might be about as it sounded more like a film with Wesley Snipes in it than a betting system.

However, this is in fact something quite new for Mike and it will be of interest to those you who live outside of the UK and Ireland who unfortunately can’t enjoy some of Mike’s other products.

This is in fact a straightforward betting method – no trading, no matched betting, just a tool for identifying value in football matches on Betfair.

It is apparently based on a mathematical algorithm that has crunched the numbers on thousands of passed matched and come up with a way to identify value.

Now I am sometimes sceptical of things like this that are based on so-called “advanced maths,” but given Mike’s past record of success on betting systems I am more interested than I would normally be.

The software basically spews out markets where it has identified value and gives you a rating based on how much of an edge it calculates you have over Betfair on that particular market.

You then just place the bets on Betfair and you are done! That is it – amazingly simple.

Mike advises backing only those selections that are priced under 10 and where there is an edge of at least 15%.

So we are going to have a go at following those criteria and seeing how we do over the course of a trial.

It will be interesting to see if the 15% edge translates into that kind of level of profit over the long term.

Our aim is to proof at least 100 bets and see how the system performs.

Now at the moment Betfair Renegade is only available as a bonus product when you subscribe to Profit Maximiser, but we have asked Mike if he plans to release it separately as a stand-alone product.

Will update you when I have further news on this front.

Bet Alchemist – Final Review

We have reached the end of our three month trial of Bet Alchemist and here are the final results:

 

Profit/loss:    +38 points 
Strike Rate:    33%
Bank Growth:    38%
Cost:   £39 per month or £95 per quarter
ROI:   26%

Bet Alchemist Full Review

 

When people ask us what is the most important thing to look for in a betting system or tipster, we normally reply longevity.

Any tipster or system can do well over the course of a few months.

But very few can do well over the course of say a year. Even fewer can continue to deliver consistent profits over the course of a number of years.

And only the very best can sustain profit-making over 5 years or longer.

Horse racing tipster Bet Alchemist is one of those who has done this and really stood the test of time.

Since starting tipping in 2011, they have made over 750 points profit, with an average staking of 1 point per selection.

So if you’d backed all those tips at just £25 per point, you would have made £18,750 – not bad going at all!

With an average of 8 profitable months per year, you are talking very consistent tipping here.

These are very impressive results over a long period of time and we are pleased to say that they have lived up to that record during our trial.

With a profit of 38 points achieved at a return on investment of 26%, this is very much what we were expecting from Bet Alchemist.

Here is a look at the profit graph for the trial:

Bet Alchemist Profit Graph

Other than a bit of a dip half way through, it was fairly steady upward growth and finished well up in the end.

The only downside of Bet Alchemist was that the results at Betfair SP were considerably lower than at advised prices, with the trial finishing just 3 points up compared to 38 points up at advised prices.

So it doesn’t look like Bet Alchemist is viable to follow at Betfair SP and this is a service for those with bookie accounts still available to them.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Tips are sent out normally the evening before racing or in the morning, so plenty of time to get bets on. With an average of just over 1.5 bets per day, there is not a huge amount of work involved in following the service.

Availability of prices: Prices do tend to get smashed in by the time of the race – hence the much lower results at Betfair SP – so you need to get your bets on quickly. Prices are quoted from a variety of bookies and are normally available for a short while after tips are posted, so it is just a case of moving as quickly as possible and certainly within an hour or so if you can.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 33% (including placed horses), so pretty respectable stuff and returns will be frequent enough.

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial and it was never in jeopardy during the trial. There was a 60-point drawdown in 2015 though, so you might want a 150 point bank to be really safe.

Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £30 per month or £79 per quarter, which is very reasonable for a service of this quality. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Bet Alchemist has shown itself to be a very consistent performer over a long period of time – with over 750 points of profit made in 5 years of tipping.

And that consistency was demonstrated during our trial as well, with 38 points of profit racked up to 1 point stakes and with a return on investment of 26%.

The only minus point is that it doesn’t seem practical to follow the service at Betfair SP, so this is probably one for those who still have some bookie accounts available to them.

As long as you fit that bill, then Bet Alchemist comes highly recommended and should definitely be added to any betting portfolio.

Bet Alchemist – Results Update

16th August 2016

Things have been moving along nicely for Bet Alchemist since our last update a month ago.

They have added another 13 points of profit at advised prices, bringing them to 20 points up for the trial overall.

You can view full results here.

That is with staking of generally 0.5pts e/w, so is probably actually better than it sounds when you consider most tipsters use higher staking than that.

At Betfair SP however, things have been moving more slowly, with 5 points actually lost since our last update, meaning they are 3 points down at Betfair SP for the trial.

Prices are fairly obtainable and they quote odds from a number of different bookies when giving out the tips, not just the single best one.

So you should be able to get close to matching the results at advised prices as long as you have a few bookies account open.

At Betfair SP though, the jury is out at the moment.

Back soon with more updates.

 

 

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Bet Alchemist – Results Update

19th July 2016

It has been a solid start to our trial of Bet Alchemist, a horse racing tipster of longstanding repute.

So far they are 7 points in profit at advised prices and 2 points in profit at Betfair SP after one month.

You can view full results here.

Most stakes are o.5pts e/w, so very sensible staking and it means 7 points up so far is pretty good with such low stakes. 

To get the bets you need to login to the secure area, which is quite unusual these days when most tips are sent by e-mail or text.

But we like what we have seen so far and Bet Alchemist is living up to the strong reputation they have established over a good number of years.

Back soon with more updates.

Bet Alchemist – New Review

18th June 2016

Alchemy – the process of turning base metals into gold. 

In betting terms, that probably means just making a long-term profit – which for the vast majority of punters and even most tipsters is seemingly just as difficult as creating gold from metal.

The latest horse racing tipster we are about to trial here at Honest Betting Reviews has been able to do just that over the last 4 years though, racking up close to 700 points in profit in that time.

So perhaps the title of Bet Alchemist is richly deserved in this case. 

Their impressive profit totals have been achieved with an average stake of just 1 point – so no mad staking system used to inflate results like some tipsters are known to have done.

There are apparently 6-8 bets per week, so a reasonably selective approach is taken to betting. 

On average they have managed 8 profitable months out of 12 per year, which is a very decent level of consistency.

The average odds of the tips is 12/1, so we are talking about needing a degree of patience to follow the Bet Alchemist. But with results like theirs, it sounds like that kind of patience has been richly rewarded. 

So far in 2016 they are apparently 91 points in profit, so seems like a good time to join them.

Anyway, without further ado we will get the trial underway and hopefully see some decent returns over the next three months.

We will be back soon with our first update on how things are going.

In the meantime, you can check out Bet Alchemist here.

Football Advisor – Full Review

 

Football Advisor is a football tipster that has been running since 2014 and who has established an enviable reputation in that time.

Since starting up, they have amassed over 350 points of profit at a strike rate of over 35%.

So how did they get on during our trial?

Well, results were solid rather than spectacular, with 8 points profit being accumulated over our three month trial. 

Here is how things went in graph format:

Football Advisor Profit Graph

As you can see, a bit of a rollercoaster over the trial but a nice profit in the end.

There are a good volume of bets, with nearly 200 bets being advised over the trial, even though it was conducted largely over the Summer.

Tips are sent out by e-mail and are sent with plenty of time before matches, often the day before.

Here is an example of an e-mail:

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————
Slovakia v England

The Sam Allardyce era gets underway today in earnest as England play away against Slovakia on Sunday. This will also be England’s first game since that humiliating defeat to Iceland at the Euro’s.

Hodgson, Capello, McLaren, Eriksson, Keegan, Hoddle, El Tel and even Graham Taylor all won their first game. In fact, you have to go all the way back to Bobby Robson before we find an England Manager who did not win their first game – a 2v2 draw against Denmark.

The only England manager to lose their first game was Sir Alf Ramsey – And that didn’t work out to bad in the end did it. So perhaps a defeat for Big Sam, will be a positive sign after all.

England & Big Sam to start with a win.

 

Today’s selections below

2.00u – England win at 2.05 with Ladbrokes (World Cup / Slovakia)
0.60u – England -1.5 at 4.00 with Uni (World Cup / Slovakia)

————————————————————————————————————————————————

 

It is good to see some analysis with the tips and the logic behind the bets being made. You do worry sometimes whether some tipsters are just sticking a pin in a piece of a paper to pick their tips!

Anyway, we feel that the profit made during the trial wasn’t quite enough to warrant a recommended rating for Football Advisor.

Betting at £10 per point would have made you £80 profit over the trial, but then with subscription costs of £97 per month or £197 per quarter, that wouldn’t have covered the fees.

So we think a neutral rating is the fairest verdict at this stage.

However, with an impressive long-term record and considering our trial was run mainly over the Summer, we think it is worth keeping an eye on Football Advisor to see how they progress over the coming months. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: As mentioned above, tips are normally sent out in good time before matches, so plenty of time to get your bets on. Although there are two bets per day on average, it is more a case of some days with no bets and then others (normally weekends) with 5 or 6. 

Availability of prices: The prices were generally very much available and in some instances by using the exchanges you could even beat the advised prices.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 34%, which is a little below the long-term average of 38% and probably explains why results weren’t quite as good as previously. 

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial, which should be enough to cover losing runs. 

Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £97/month, £197/quarter or £388/6 months.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

As regular followers of Honest Betting Reviews will know, finding a profitable football tipster has proved very difficult indeed!

So coming into the trial of Football Advisor, we were quite hopeful of finally having found a quality and honest football tipping service.

We are not disappointed by the results by any means and a profit is a profit. 

However, given the high subscription costs of £97 per month or £197 per quarter, you would need to have bet at around £50 – £100 per point to really make this worthwhile.

Now there may be some of you out there who can bet at those stakes, but for the majority staking of £10 – £20 per point would be more realistic.

So we feel a neutral verdict is reasonable at this stage and we will keep an eye on things for a while to see how things develop for Football Advisor.

Football Advisor – Results Update

28th July 2016

Footy tipster Football Advisor has been on a strong run since our last update, adding over 13 points of profit to stand at 11 points up for the trial as a whole.

You can view full results here.

They had a nice winner predicting Portugal to win the Euros, which to be fair not many people did. 

After the Euros they took a well-earned break for a couple of weeks but are back in action now with the tips flowing again.

Lots to like about Football Advisor and strong results to date.

Football Advisor – Results Update

23rd June 2016

It has been a fairly even start so far for Football Advisor, with 2.5 points lost for the trial after three weeks.

You can view full results here.

Just to recap, Football Advisor is a football tipster that provides tips by e-mail for major football leagues and tournaments.  

It has been a busy time for them with the Euros and Copa America going on. After three weeks we have already had 90 bets, which is quite high for a football service.

Things had started off very strongly in June, but have just tailed off slightly with some of the topsy-turvy results in the Euros.

Anyway, not much lost so far and plenty of time for things to pick up.

Football Advisor – New Review

31st May 2016

Our long search for a winning football tipster finally found some success recently in the form of Thomo’s Tips, who managed a very profitable trial here on the site and have continued to do well since our trial ended.

Not resting on our laurels however, we are always on the lookout for new football tipsters of promise. 

One that we have been hearing a fair bit about on the grapevine is Football Advisor, a very impressive and professional-looking football tipping website that has been around since 2014.

They tip mainly in the big European leagues and international tournaments and matches, although there are a few bets in some of the minor leagues as well.

Football Advisor’s record since they started just before the 2014 World Cup is pretty outstanding for a football tipster, with just under 350 points profit having been accumulated.

Those profits have been achieved at a return on investment of 26% and a strike rate of 38%, both very strong metrics.

With results like these, the service is understandably one of the more pricey ones around, with subscriptions costing £97/month, £197/quarter or £388 for 6 months. 

However, if they can maintain the kind of results achieved to date then those subscription costs would be well worth it, presuming of course you can bet at reasonable stakes. 

Although the end of May isn’t normally the best time to start a trial of a football tipster, we do have the Euros just around the corner which will be a veritable feast of betting, plus the Copa America and of course the Summer leagues.

So plenty of action to get our teeth into and we understand Football Advisor will be betting in all of it.

Without further ado then we will get our trial underway and let’s see if we can add a second service to our list of winning football tipsters.

You can check out Football Advisor here.

Winintennis – Final Review

/1 Comment/in , , /by

We have completed our three month trial of Winintennis and here are the final results:

 

Profit/loss:    +4 points
Strike Rate:   89%
Bank Growth:   16%
Cost:   £59.95 per month
ROI:   24%
Average number of tips:   6 per month
VERDICT:   NEUTRAL
Rating:

 

You can view full results here.

 

Winintennis Full Review

 

Winintennis is a tennis tipping service that provides tips on both men’s and women’s tennis. 

We subscribed to their main pre-match betting tips, which costs £59.95 per month.

They also sometimes provide some free in-play tips and there is a dedicated in-running service costing an eye-watering…wait for it…£499.99 per month!

The main thing to note about their pre-match tips is that there aren’t very many of them! We had just 17 tips in three months of subscribing.

They ended up making 4 points profit over the trial, but we felt that once subscription costs are taken into account, it barely seems worth following the service for just 5 or 6 tips per month.

So we will give Winintennis a neutral rating – perhaps if they could up the volume of bets and keep the strike rate at a similar level, we would consider upgrading to a passed rating.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Good. Tips are sent out by e-mail and as we say, there are very few so following the service will take very little of your time. 

Availability of prices: Prices were generally obtainable and occasionally by using the exchanges you can beat the advised prices.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 89%, which if there was a higher volume bets could result in strong bank growth.  

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 25 point bank for the trial which seemed sufficient as most of the tips are at odds on and with a high strike rate, should not be too risky.  

Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £59.95 per month for the pre-match tips.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Winintennis is a low-volume tennis tipster that produced 4 points of profit during our three month trial.

It is an easy service to use and we should always commend a service that makes a profit.

However, with just a 16% growth of the bank in three months and once subscription costs are taken into account, we don’t think 4 points profit is quite enough to warrant an approved rating.

So it’s a neutral rating from us for Winintennis. 

 

 

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Winintennis – Results Update

24th August 2016

Well Winintennis must be the lowest volume service we have ever encountered. 

Nearly three months in and we have only had 17 bets.

In total we are 4 points in profit, which isn’t too bad.

You can view full results here.

However, with such a low bet volume and low points total, there is a serious question as to whether it is worth following once subscription costs are taken into account.

We will return shortly with our final review – but I think you can guess what we are going to say…

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Winintennis – Results Update

29th July 2016

Again there isn’t much to report for Winintennis.

Since our last update a month ago there have only been eight bets and we stand exactly where we did a month previous, on 2 points up.

You can view full results here.

As we said previously, this is a very low volume service and with generally short-odds selections, it would take a long time to build a bank with this one.

So with just a month to go, it seems unlikely we will be much in profit come the end of the trial.

Back in a month with our final report.

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Winintennis – Results Update

30th June 2016

A month into our trial of Winintennis and we don’t have much to report in all honesty.

So far there have only been five tips, a very low number over the course of a whole month.

The good news though is that all the five tips won (although four of them were at odds of below 1.4). In total that means they are 2 points up so far.

You can view full results here.

The service seems to be more about trying to get you to sign up to their “heavily discounted” subscription for in-play tips at a whopping £499.99 per month.

If that is “heavily discounted” we wonder what the full price would be!

In addition, they send out free in-play tips, but weirdly these are mainly bets for individual games further down the line in a current match when you don’t know what the odds will be. The odds they post for those bets are often not actually available.

So we are not sure what to make of those free in-play tips.

But the main tips are in profit, so we can’t really complain thus far.

Back soon with more updates.

Winintennis – New Review

1st June 2016

With the tennis season in full swing now and the French Open slowly working its way towards a conclusion, there is a great deal of tennis action to bet on and much more coming up over the Summer.

We have one trial of a tennis tipster that has just concluded – i.e. that of Tennis Bett – and one ongoing – that of TennisTips.co.uk.

So we are pleased to have found another tennis tipster to test out in the form of Winintennis.

This is a service that has been around for a long time – right back to 2001 according to their website, when they apparently tipped Goran Ivanisevic to win Wimbledon at 150/1!

There are some fairly bold claims made on the website about being able to treble your bank in 3 months and that you can make £5,000 – £10,000 per month tax-free, so it will be interesting to see if they can achieve results like these under the spotlight of a live trial.

There are no results published on the website, which can be a worrying sign but does not in itself mean the service is no good. 

There is a just a list of underdog winners, which doesn’t tell us very much. 

You can get free tips under a three-month trial, which are in-play tips.

The paid subscriptions cost £59.95/month and for that you get the match tips.

So without further ado we will get our trial underway and will report back soon on how things are going.

In the meantime you can check out Winintennis here. 

 

Jason Bond Picks – Final Review

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Jason Bond Picks is a stock market advisory service that offers up live picks plus videos, advice and a live chat room.

At the outset of our review, we tried to follow the picks and buy and sell as Jason did.

However, the problem is that by the time you have received the pick, the price has nearly always changed and you cannot get the same price as Jason did.

That is the case in both buying and selling the stock, so you are missing out on value on both sides.

In short, it didn’t really work following the picks.

You can view full results here.

Whilst Jason made 245% profit, we made just 25%, which once you take the costs of dealing into account, doesn’t leave you with much. 

Anyway, Jason doesn’t advise just following his stocks blindly, so that is probably not the way to go.

Included in the subscription package is also advice and training on looking for patterns and indicators to trade like Jason does.

However, having looked at this we didn’t feel there was anything particularly outstanding or foolproof there that would guarantee making you the kinds of money Jason talks about.

There are some useful training aids and videos, plus spending time in the chat room is a good way to pick up ideas and learn from other traders.

Overall as part of the package we feel you will probably improve as a trader, but ultimately here at Honest Betting Reviews we have to judge systems by their results.

And we just didn’t feel the results were quite good enough, once trading and subscription costs are taken into account, to justify a recommended rating.

So it’s a neutral rating for Jason Bond Picks for us – a lot of marketing here but sadly we didn’t find it worked to follow Jason’s picks.

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Jason Bond Picks – Results Update

7th July 2016

OK so after following Jason Bond’s stock picks for about six weeks, we have come to a realisation. 

And that realisation is that basically there is no point trying to copy his picks!

Whilst Jason is 245% up since we started following his picks at the end of May, we are only 25%.

You can view full results here.

Once you have taken trade costs into account, it is barely worth it. 

Plus we have had to be right on the button to achieve that, if you had been a bit slower you probably would have made even less.

It is very frustrating to see Jason boasting about all these profits he is making whilst you can’t match his trades.

But in any event, Jason advises against mirroring his trades and rather sees his service as a learning process.

So for the remainder of this review we will look at what we can learn and whether the lessons are worth the (rather considerable) subscription fees…

In the meantime, if anyone knows of a stockmarket service that actually sends out genuine stock tips that you are meant to copy, please let us know!

Jason Bond Picks – Results Update

6th June 2016

Firstly our apologies for the late update on Jason Bond Picks. With a few other things going on around the site we were delayed in getting going.

We are now off and running though and happy to give you our first thoughts. 

The overall news is good. 

Jason’s picks – which are sent out by e-mail – have so far made 54% profit for him, netting him a cool $23,555 in profit.

You can view full results here.

However, there are three fairly important things to be aware of when looking at the results. 

Firstly, you will struggle to match Jason’s results exactly. By the time his picks have been sent out, the prices tend to have changed quite a bit, losing some of the value he has secured.

So as you will see from the right side of the results spreadsheet, our results haven’t been quite as impressive as Jason’s.

As you can see, whilst he is 54% up, we are 22% up so far.

That is still very good and six of the eight trades to date have been winners, with one effectively being a scratch trade.

Secondly, Jason is trading in very large amounts, so the fact that he is over $23,000 in profit so far is partly due to the fact that he is buying in chunks of $30,000 – $50,000 for each trade. 

You may not (and I have to say I am not able to!) match those kinds of stakes. But just set yourself what is realistic and you can still make a healthy profit based on what we have seen so far.

Finally, if you are based outside the US it is worth bearing in mind that Jason’s picks are all US stocks, some of which may not be easily be available to buy via all stockbrokers in other countries.

We use Hargreaves Lansdown for our trades, who are a UK-based broker and are very good for US stocks. So far we have been able to buy all but one of the stocks through them. 

For those that aren’t available through stockbrokers, there are always spread betting companies like IG Index and FXTM who also cover US stocks.

So you should be able to follow the vast majority of the trades if you are outside the US, but just be aware you may miss one of two.

Now of course Jason Bond Picks is about more than just Jason’s trades – there are a number of other interesting features to the site. 

There is a live chat room where you can pick up strategies and tips from expert stock traders, plus have a gas with other share enthusiasts. 

There is also a penny stocks 101 section, which is a step-by-step guide to trading penny stocks.

In addition, there are also helpful video lessons on the site and plenty of other useful info.

One other thing to note, apparently Jason is heading to LA in the middle of the month to deliver a NEW Porsche 911 Targa to a client, who at the young age of 25, is now a millionaire with $1,000,000+ in trading profits (audited) since joining Jason Bond Picks just 2 years ago.

Apparently the guy started out with less than $50,000 and is now a millionaire from following Jason Bond Picks.

Now we can’t obviously verify this one way or the other but would be pretty amazing if true!

Anyway, so far we are impressed with Jason Bond Picks and are quite excited by the profit building potential of the service.

We will be back soon with more updates.

Jason Bond Picks – New Review

18th March 2016

When we started this site, we had intended to cover both betting systems and financial trading systems. 

However, to date we must say that the vast majority have been betting systems. This is our own preference and they tend to be a little less time consuming to review.

There are lots of good potential financial trading strategies out there too though.

And to be honest, if something makes money then we don’t really care if it’s based on sport, games, casinos, financial markets or whatever else people may bet on – the most important thing is that it makes money!

So to correct the imbalance we have had on the site to date we are intending to do some more reviews of financial and forex systems.

First up is Jason Bond Picks (no relation to James we understand), a guy who focuses on winning small cap swing trades.

We have heard good things about this site from other stockmarket traders, so thought it would be a good place to start.

Jason is a professional trader and teaches people to trade stocks. He has apparently made over $500,000 in trading profits since the inception of his site.

He has a verified record of profits in the last few years of:

2015: 188% profit

2014: 31% profit

2013: 78% profit

So pretty good records, although it is not clear where these figures have been verified.

Anyway, there are potentially two options for trading with Jason.

  1. One is the day trading option, for supposedly “greedy, trigger happy traders” (sound familiar anyone?) who need profitable intraday trades.
  2. Then there is the swing trading option, which is designed to make money without being chained to your computer all day. There are apparently an average of 3 swing trades per week with a hold time of 1-4 days. 

We will be focusing on the latter of these two, whilst keeping an eye on the first one.

So, with our first foray into financial trading for a while, let’s hope we are in safe hands with Jason Bond – and end up not too shaken, or stirred (sorry, couldn’t resist a Bond-related pun)…

Back soon with our first update on how things are going.

In the meantime, you can check out Jason Bond Picks here. 

 

 

Galileo Racing – Final Review

We have come to the end of our three month trial of Galileo Racing and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/loss:    -13 points
Strike Rate:    39%
Bank Growth:    -13%
Cost:   £39.50 per month or £89.50 per quarter
ROI:   -9%

You can view full results here.

 

Galileo Racing – Full Review

 

Galileo Racing is a horse racing tipster from the reputable Pro Betting Club stable.

Coming into our trial, it had made over 300 points profit at a return on investment of over 25%, so we were very hopeful that this would turn out to be a winner.

Sadly though, things didn’t quite work out as we had hoped and the trial finished with a loss of 13 points.

As things go it is not the worst trial we have ever had and there is always the possibility they will get things back on track soon.

So for the moment we give them a neutral rating and hopefully things will improve for Galileo Racing over the Autumn and beyond.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Not bad. You have to log in to the Pro Betting Club site each day rather than having the tips sent to you by e-mail/text, which would be preferable. But there are usually just one or two bets per day, so the time involved is minimal. 

Availability of prices: There are no prices advised as such, which is very unusual for a horse racing tipster.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 39%, which includes placed horses. 

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial, which seemed plenty enough to take account of any losing runs. 

Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £39.50 per month or £89.50 per quarter.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

It’s been a slightly disappointing trial for the horse racing tipster Galileo Racing.

A loss of 13 points was not what we were hoping for, but was not the worst outcome of a trial we have seen either. 

So a neutral verdict and a watching brief will be the order of the day for this one for the time being.

Galileo Racing – Results Update

10th August 2016

Things have picked up a bit for Galileo Racing, a horse racing tipster from the Pro Betting Club stable.

They have added 9 points of profit at advised prices since our last update a month ago, bringing them to -17 points for the trial overall.

 You can view full results here.

At Betfair SP they have added 6 points of profit since our last update to reach -24 points for the trial overall.

We have just a couple of weeks left in our trial of Galileo Racing, so let’s hope for a strong run at the end to bring them into profit for the trial overall.

 

 

 

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Galileo Racing – Results Update

13th July 2016

Unfortunately it is been a slightly disappointing time for Galileo Racing. 

The service has lost 20 points at advised prices since our last update, meaning it is now 26 points down for the trial as a whole.

You can view full results here.

At Betfair SP things are a little lower, at -30 points for the trial.

We had high hopes for this one at the outset, so it is a shame it has not quite lived up to those hopes yet.

Still, it is relatively early days in the trial as we have only had 41 bets so far, which is a fairly small number to go on.

Anyway, let’s hope things have picked up for them by the time of our next update.

 

 

 

 

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Galileo Racing – Results Update

15th June 2016

It’s been an up and down start to our trial of Galileo Racing, who stated off strongly and went 13 points into profit quickly, but have had a tough run since then.

So far for the trial they are 6 points down at early prices and 10 points down at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

Interestingly they don’t actually include advised prices with their selections, so it is just a case of grabbing the best price you can when the tips are released.

It is very early days in the trial, so plenty of time to get going, with Royal Ascot this week being a good starting point hopefully.

Back soon with more updates.

 

 

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Galileo Racing – New Review

25th May 2016

What do you look for in a horse racing tipster?

Obviously the bottom line is that you want it to make you money.

But beyond that, what are the important things for a service to have?

Well in our view, we like a tipster to have the following things:

  • A high number of winning months
  • A good strike rate, so losing runs are short and you can bet at reasonably high stakes
  • A decent return on investment
  • Sensible staking
  • Prices that are obtainable

For our next trial, we think we may have found a service that meets all these criteria – well at least four of them anyway.

The service in question is called Galileo Racing and it comes from the respected Pro Betting Club.

It has had 13 out of 14 winning months so far, so very good on that front.

The strike rate is around 30%, which is very respectable for a racing service and means winners should be regular enough.

The return on investment is apparently 25%, which over a 14 month period is very high indeed. There aren’t many tipsters that manage above a 20% ROI in the long term.

Staking is sensible as well, with either a 2 point win bet or 1 point each way on every tip.

So that just leaves the question of whether prices are obtainable.

Well we will find out soon enough! 

Indeed, that is partly what reviewing these services is about, in addition to checking results are accurate and that they are practical to follow.

So without further ado, we will get our trial of Galileo Racing underway and let’s hope it lives up to the pre-trial billing we have just given it!

We will revert soon with our first update on how things are going.

In the meantime you can check out Galileo Racing here.

CorrectScores.net – Final Review

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

We have reached the end of our three month trial of CorrectScores.net and here are the final results:

 

Profit/loss:    -4 points 
Strike Rate:    82%
Bank Growth:    -8%
Cost:   £30 per month 
ROI:   -5%
Average number of bets:    1 per day
VERDICT:   NEUTRAL
Rating:

 

You can view full results here.

 

CorrectScores.net Full Review

 

CorrectScores.net is a service that involves laying the current score at half time in selected matches in the hope that there will be more goals and hence the bet will win.

At the start of our trial they advised laying any current score at half time as long as the odds were under 6.0. 

However, during the trial they changed this to only laying if the score is a certain scoreline, normally 1-0 or 1-1. 

That approach means there are less bets but has proved effective for the short time it was in operation.

Overall however, the trial finished with a slightly disappointing 4 points lost.

They also introduced a “lay the 0-2 scoreline” system part way through the trial, but that was also slightly down by the end of our trial.

All in all then we feel like a neutral rating is the fairest judgement here – a small loss was no disaster and there were signs the new approach was proving more effective.

So we will keep an eye on things for a while longer and see if this turns out to be the case.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Generally good, bets are sent out in good time before matches and there are usually just 1-3 matches to bet on any one day. You obviously need to be able to monitor the matches and place your potential lay bet at half time if the criteria are met, so may not suit everyone. 

Availability of prices: There are no prices advised as such, just whatever the price is at half time and presuming it is below 10.0, which it nearly always is. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 82%, which on the face of it is good but with laying systems when you hit a loser it does hit the bank quite hard so you need to be prepared for that. 

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 50 point bank for the trial, which seemed plenty enough to take account of any losing runs. 

Subscription costs: Subscription costs are £30 per month. The good thing is though that if they have a losing month then you get the next month free (or you can get a refund for the month instead). 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: NEUTRAL

Correctscores.net takes an interesting approach to betting on football, by laying the current score at half-time if it meets certain criteria.

Sadly the results haven’t turned out quite as expected over our trial however.

With 4 points lost, it is certainly not the worst trial we have run though and there were signs the new approach to laying only if the score is certain scorelines appears to be improving things.

So we will keep our eye on things for a while longer and see if results can turn around for them.

CorrectScores.net – Results Update

8th August 2016

It has been a tough time for CorrectScores.net, who have dropped 12 points since our last update to be 14 points down for the trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

The methodology for the selections was changed recently. Instead of laying any HT score (apart from 0-0) as we have been doing up until now, they now only say to lay the score at HT if the score is one of certain scorelines (e.g. 1-0, 1-1 etc).

And the maximum lay odds have changed from 6.0 to 10.0

So perhaps this change of approach will lead to an improvement in results – and with the main football season just a week away, there will be more action to choose from. 

Back soon with more updates.

 

 

 

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

CorrectScores.net – Results Update

11th July 2016

There has been a slight improvement for CorrectScores.net since our last update a month ago.

They have picked up 4 points of profit to sit at -2.5 points so far for the trial. 

You can view full results here.

To be honest though, things have been very quiet for them, with only nine bets over the last month.

It is probably a better idea to monitor this service when the main footy season is in progress rather than during the Summer months when there are very few bets.

It’s not long to go now – just one month until the Premier League kicks off again – so we will continue following them into the new season.

The other thing to mention is that they recently started up a second service involving laying the 0-2 scoreline (i.e. laying the underdog to win 2-0).

Unfortunately that second service has not started well and is 15 points down so far after three weeks.

Still, it is very early days so plenty of time to turn things around.

Back soon with more updates.

CorrectScores.net – Results Update

14th June 2016

It’s been a slow start to our trial of CorrectScores.net, a service that provides matches to lay the current score at half time in.

So far they are 6 points down after three weeks.

You can view full results here.

To be fair, things have been quiet with the end of the football season and there haven’t been very many selections so far.

Interestingly they have recently added a second service to their repertoire, which involves laying the 2-0 in selected matches.

It has apparently made 165 points profit in 4 months, with a strike rate of close to 99%.

The average lay odds for the 2-0 are 30 though, so this is not for the feint-hearted.

We will monitor how the 2-0 service gets on now and see if they can match the impressive pre-trial results.

Back soon with more updates.

CorrectScores.net – New Review

21st May 2016

Alas the main footy season is over – excluding the Champions League final of course.

So you may be feeling withdrawal symptoms already, wondering where you can get your fix of betting on the beautiful game whilst Europe’s big leagues take a break.

Fear not though, just because we are into the Summer, it doesn’t mean football betting has to stop. 

Not by a long shot.

The Euros are just around the corner and there are a good number of leagues that play during the Summer including in Scandanavia, Russia, South America and Ireland amongst others.

So strap yourselves in for a new football betting system to keep us footy addicts going over the Summer.

The system is question is called CorrectScores.Net and it follows a very simple strategy.

Basically you get a list of games to potentially bet on in the morning.

Then you lay the current scoreline at half time. as long as two criteria are met:

  • The score is not 0-0 at half time; and
  • You can get odds of less than 6.0. 

So a pretty simple setup, there should be no problems following this one. 

The published results on the website look very good, albeit over a fairly short period, with 42 points profit made to 1 point level stakes since the service started in February this year.

The system has supposedly been developed over 3 years, so plenty of work has gone into it by the sounds of things.

And to top it off, there is a profit guarantee of 5 points profit per month, so if you don’t make that much profit they will refund your subscription fees.

That shows great confidence in their service and must mean they believe at least 5 points profit will be made per month on a consistent basis.

We ran a trial of similar system a while ago called Half Time Hero that sadly didn’t pan out, but let’s hope for better things from CorrectScores.net

We will return soon with our first update on how things are coming along for this one.

In the meantime, you can check out CorrectScores.net here.

Alex Hammond Tips – Full Review

 

Alex Hammond is the resident tipster on Sky Sports News and she provides one tip per day for the punting public.

At the start of the trial, we were curious to see whether her tips were any good and would deliver any profit.

Well at the end of three months we are pleased to say that Alex has managed to rack up an impressive 38 points of profit to 1 point level stakes.

Here are the results for the trial in graph format:

Alex Hammond Tips Profit Graph

As you can see, pretty steady profit growth throughout the trial.

And that was with a strike rate of 32% and using a 50 point bank, meant a 76% growth in the bank over the three months.

And best of all, the tips are completely FREE! 

You just need to check the Sky Sports site each day for the tips.

So with some stellar results and being super-easy to follow, we are happy to give Alex Hammond’s tips a recommended rating.

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: As stated above, very simple to follow with just one tip per day. 

Availability of prices: The advised prices were under no great pressure and this is certainly no Tom Segal or Hugh Taylor situation. Indeed, at Betfair SP we actually slightly beat the advised prices, with 41 points profit being recorded.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 32%, which is pretty decent and means losing streaks were kept to a minimum.   

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 50 point bank for the trial, which seemed plenty enough to take account of any losing runs. 

Subscription costs: The best thing about the service – FREE! 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

It is not often we have a positive trial of one of the popular tipsters in the press or on TV, so we are pleased to say that Alex Hammond has passed with flying colours.

Managing to amass 41 points profit at Betfair SP is no mean feat and with a return on investment of 44%, it was a strong trial for Ms Hammond.

With just one tip per day it is a very easy service to follow and with it being free, you really can’t complain.

Let’s hope Alex can continue this kind of form in the long run, but for now we are content to give her tips a recommended rating.

Alex Hammond Tips – Results Update

3rd August 2016

Alex Hammond has continued her excellent form, adding another 21 points profit at advised prices and 15 points of profit at Betfair SP since our last update.

That means she is now 35 points up for the trial as a whole at advised prices and 36 points up at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

Alex had a very good Goodwood festival, netting winners five days in a row to land over 13 points of profit. Pretty awesome stuff!

So just a few weeks to go in our trial and nice to see some really decent results from a free tipster.

Alex Hammond Tips – Results Update

9th July 2016

There has been good progress by Alex Hammond since our last update, adding a further 9 points profit at advised prices and 13 points at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

That means she is now 14 points up at advised prices and 21 points up at Betfair SP.

Alex had an excellent Royal Ascot, bagging winners in the form of Ribchester at 8/1 and Even Song at 11/4.

It is good to see the Betfair SP beating the advised prices, which you rarely see from tipsters.

We are just over halfway through the trial now, so let’s hope for more of the same from Ms Hammond in the second half of the trial.

Alex Hammond Tips – Results Update

12th June 2016

It’s been a good start to our trial of Alex Hammond Tips, with the resident Sky Sports News tipster sitting 5 points in profit at early prices and 8 points in profit at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

The tips are available for free on the Sky Sports site here and of course Alex features on Sky Sports News as well.

It is tough to make a profit when you are obliged to provide just one tip per day, every day, but we have been impressed with the start made by Alex Hammond and hopefully it will continue in the same vein.

Back soon with more updates.

Alex Hammond Tips – New Review

20th May 2016

If you have watched Sky Sports News over the years, you will no doubt have seen the lovely Alex Hammond providing expert analysis and tips for the day’s horse racing.

As I was sitting watching the other day, I wondered how successful Alex was with her tipping.

Certainly she seems to have a very thorough knowledge of the sport and is clearly not just there to brighten up our screens.

However, can her horse racing knowledge translate into success in the tipping game?

Well we thought it was time to find out by running a trial of Alex Hammond’s tips here at Honest Betting Reviews.

So we will record her tips each day and see how she performs under the spotlight of a live trial.

Alex’s involvement with horses began at an early age, competing in showjumping events as a junior. She worked in the Shadwell stud of Sheikh Hamden, before moving to the yard of trainers Jack and Lynda Ramsden. 

She also has some experience as a jockey, having ridden in over 50 amateur flat races and was placed in a race at Royal Ascot.

And of course she has been married to jockey Richard Quinn since 2007.

So all in all Alex seems to have excellent “pedigree” as they say and should have good prospects of making a profit in the tipping game.

However, we have seen lots of examples over the years of horse racing experts who sadly haven’t been able to find a winning edge when it came to providing tips.

Let’s hope Alex Hammond is an exception and can put all her horse racing expertise to good use by finding us some winners over the trial.

We will provide regular updates on how things go during the trial.

In the meantime you can check out Alex Hammond’s tips here.

Classic Racing Gold – Full Review

 

It’s been a spectacular trial for Classic Racing Gold, who have delivered some superb profits for us over the last three months.

Specialising in Irish Racing, they provide 1-2 tips per day, that are normally sent out the evening before racing or early in the morning.

The results coming into our trial were very impressive and so we had high expectations at the outset of our testing period.

And boy they did not disappoint!

Just under 100 points profit at advised prices, at an exceptional return on investment of 37% are some of the best results we have ever seen from a horse racing tipster.

And with a strike rate of 59%, the rate of winners was very high and the drawdowns have been minimal to non-existent.

As you can see from the profit graph below, it was very smooth and steady progress during our trial:

Classic Racing Gold Profit Graph

With the tips being virtually all in Irish racing, the liquidity isn’t quite as strong as in UK racing and prices do get hit quite significantly, so if you still have access to bookie accounts then you want to get your bets on as soon as possible after you receive the tips.

However, even if you’ve lost all your bookie accounts, then you can still use Betfair, as the results at Betfair SP were good too, with 48 points profit made over the trial – so exactly half of the profits achieved at advised prices.

All in all then Classic Racing Gold is undoubtedly one of the best services we have come across in the dozens of systems we have tested here at Honest Betting Reviews.

So it’s no surprise to say this receives a passed rating – with bells on!

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: Good customer service, with warnings about when tips will be sent out and consistent timings – normally in the evening around 8 or 9pm or in the morning around 7am or 8am. 

Availability of prices: As mentioned above, the prices do get squeezed in quite significantly between when they are sent out and the off, so you want to get your bets on asap or you will risk losing some of the value. However, a good profit was still made at Betfair SP, testifying to the edge over the market they have.

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 59%, which is exceptionally high for a horse racing service and means lots of winners and minimal losing streaks. 

Advised Betting Bank: No betting bank was advised, but we used a 100 point bank for the trial, which was always comfortable and we think should be sufficient with such a high strike rate.

Subscription costs: The subscription costs are good value for a service of this quality at £60 per month, £150 per quarter or £250 for 6 months. Certainly we have seen services charge much more than this without having results of this quality. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

It has been a magnificent trial for Classic Racing Gold, who have amassed just shy of 100 points profit at advised prices during our three month trial.

That comes on the back of 350 points profit made prior to our trial.

Amazingly the return on investment of 37% during our trial matched very closely their long term level of 34%, which means our results are very similar to what they have achieved over the last year.

With a strike rate of 59% meaning a high number of winners and minimal losing streaks, this ticks just about all the boxes in terms of a top tipster.

Results at Betfair SP were quite a bit lower, but were still close to 50 points profit at a return on investment of 18%, which is mighty impressive in itself.

This goes right in at the top with the very best tipsters we have ever come across and needless to say gets a recommended rating.

Get yourself signed up as soon as possible just in case they decide to close the doors anytime soon!

Classic Racing Gold – Final Review

15th July 2016

The superb form continues for Classic Racing Gold, who are looking mightily impressive so far.

They have added a further 38 points of profit at advised prices since our last update a month ago.

That means they are now 63 points in profit for the trial so far.

You can view full results here.

There have been some fantastic runs for them lately, including nine winners (and a place) out of ten bets and they have just come off 4 winners and 2 places out of their last six bets.

The Betfair SP results have been a little lower – although still impressive – having made 26 points profit so far.

So you do need to get your bets on quickly after tips are sent out. The nice thing is that they don’t just quote the best price available but one that is available with more than bookies, so you have a good chance of matching their results. 

Anyway, fantastic results so far and we may have found something special here in the form of Classic Racing Gold.

Back soon with more updates.

Classic Racing Gold – Results Update

16th June 2016

There has been excellent progress from Classic Racing Gold since our last update three weeks ago. 

They have added 26 points of profit in that time to stand at 25 points up for the trial so far to advised prices and 6 points up at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

Results were helped with a very nice winner at Royal Ascot on Tuesday in the shape of Jennies Jewel, who won at 10/1 for them in the Ascot Stakes.

As we said in our last update, there is a lot to like about this service. Warning is given when bets will be sent and they don’t always just record the best available price, but what is generally available amongst the bookies.

So if you take into account the 350 points profit made prior to our trial starting, this is looking awfully good so far.

Back soon more updates.

Classic Racing Gold – Results Update

26th May 2016

It’s been a quiet start so far to our trial of Classic Racing Gold. After two weeks they are 1 point down at advised prices and 5 points down at Betfair SP.

You can view full results here.

It’s very early days as we are only two weeks into the trial, so far too early obviously to start making any judgements.

However, what we do really like is that in terms of their published results, Classic Racing Gold don’t always record the best available bookie price, but often the next price below that.

Very few tipsters do that and it is great to see. It means on the one hand you are getting a more realistic sense of what the results you might obtain when following the service are, but on the other hand if you are really fast on the buzzer then you could actually beat their published results.

It is also nice to see that they normally give you a heads up as to when bets will be sent out and which bookies you need.

Excellent then so far in terms of customer service and the past results are superb, so all we need is to see that kind of form replicated and we could be in for something special.

Back soon with more updates.

Classic Racing Gold – New Review

10th May 2016

A while ago we reviewed a service called Racing Gold here at Honest Betting Reviews and gave it a firm thumbs up after it amassed 158 points profit during our trial.

Well today we have a similar-sounding service called Classic Racing Gold – which shouldn’t be confused with the other Racing Gold mentioned above.

The two services are in fact completely separate and have nothing to do with one another.

However, the one thing they do have in common is outstanding results!

Classic Racing Gold has been around since August 2015 and to date has made a superb 350 points profit at a return on investment of 33%.

Eight out of the nine completed months so far have been profitable and to be fair the losing month only lost 5 points, where as some of the winning months have been over 70 points in profit.

The service specialises in Irish racing, which is a first for us here at Honest Betting Reviews as all the other tipsters we have reviewed have specialised in British racing.

So it will be interesting to see how prices hold up for Irish racing and if there are any significant differences to betting on British racing.

There looks like just 1-2 bets per day, so the workload should be fairly low with this service.

We will run our normal three month trial for Classic Racing Gold and will report back on how things are going shortly.

In the meantime you can check out Classic Racing Gold here.
